My Grandson Austin & I just completed our surprise inspection of the Playground behind the Library on New 51. I am sad to say it is almost as pitiful as the one by Laplace Elementary. There were 3 Parish employees cutting the grass for the track, well 2, one was just riding around watching them. The third could have easily brought some dirt to fill the water holes in the playground. I mean really, it has not rained in 3 days!!! Come on St John Parish , have some pride!!
